I think one of my favourite books, so heart-warming, yet emotional. Dark, but light. It's a truly well-rounded story, that lets you feel so many things at once. The characters are soo loveable and you get quite attached.

Neil Gaiman delivers another exceptional piece of work with The Graveyard Book. It is a bit spooky, full of ghosts, and a pleasure to read.
I LOVE Neil Gaiman's writing style because I feel like I am right there experiencing everything along with Nobody.
The Graveyard Book throws you right into some action that keeps a hold of you until the very last page. Each chapter is basically a story of Bod's life and I enjoyed each one. I definitely stayed up late finishing this one because I could not put it down.
The characters are all amazing and vibrant. Nobody is the sweetest kid that has to learn things a bit differently since he is raised by ghosts and a guardian but he does pretty well. Silas is a very strong presence but I wish we could have learned more about his actual background. Of all the fun characters we meet along the way, Miss Lupescu will always be my favorite. I wouldn't mind eating some of her more interesting food choices while participating in her lessons.
I highly recommend this to any Neil Gaiman fan, someone looking for a light spooky read, and/or anyone who liked Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas.
